You can also create JSPs for use in Oracle Portal outside the Portal user interface, for example with Oracle JDeveloper. For more information, see the Oracle JDeveloper page on the Oracle Technology Network, http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/content.html.

6.6.1 Creating a JSP Through the Page Creation Wizard

To create a JSP through the Page Creation Wizard:

Log in to Oracle Portal.

Click the Build tab to bring it forward.

From the Page Groups portlet Work In drop-down list, select a page group to own the JSP.

By default, the Page Groups portlet is located on the Build tab of the Portal Builder page.

In the Layout & Appearance section, click the Create link next to the Pages heading.

If the page will be a sub-page of an existing page (rather than of the page group's root page), follow the steps outlined in Section 6.3, "Creating a Sub-Page". Then return to Step 5 in this section.

On the resulting page, select JSP from the Page Type list.

In the Display Name field, enter a Display Name for the page.

Use up to 256 characters of any kind. The Display Name identifies the page in the Page Groups portlet and the Portal Navigator.

Note:

In the Oracle Portal user interface, an asterisk (*) indicates a field that requires a value.

Use Original Page's Portlet Instances. Select this option to use the portlets on the original JSP and to share the personalizations that were made to those portlets. If a portlet is deleted from the original page, it is also removed from the JSP that shares it.

Create Externally Published Portlets. Select this option to create an externally published portlet for each portlet on the original page, and then use the externally published portlets on the JSP. If you select this option, any personalizations made to the portlets on the original page are not carried over to the portlets on the JSP. For example, changes to develop-in-place portlets, such as the OmniPortlet, the Web Clipping portlet, and the HTML portlet, are lost because any changes to those portlets are regarded as personalizations.
